Nature Center

Today we took a field trip to a nature center nearby a friends' apartment. One thing I love about homeschool is the flexibility it can provide. If you need a break from the monotony you can take a break with a field trip. The kids have fun, learn a little something, and everyone feels a bit refreshed with just a one day break. We tend to have lighter school days on Wednesdays because Miss M goes to BSF with me on Tuesday nights and does not get in bed until 10:30. Wednesdays are usually a light day of reading together, doing Japanese homework, and some kind of outside activity. We chose to picnic with friends and enjoy a nature center. Miss M made a craft of a family of acorns and painted them. They turned out really cute. Once we get a hot glue gun we will put them on a twig as she made one to represent each person in our family. We walked around some trees and saw lots of large spiders making their webs, a worm, butterflies, and simply enjoyed the beautiful weather and sunshine. My friend has a baby about a 6 weeks older than the J Man. We attempted to get a picture of them together but it was hard to do. They were not cooperating. Thank you Lydia for a fun day together. We all really enjoyed ourselves.
